2014-12-05libstd/sys/unix/process.rs: reap a zombie who didn't get through to exec(2).NODA, Kai-10/+33
After the library successfully called fork(2), the child does several setup works such as setting UID, GID and current directory before it calls exec(2). When those setup works failed, the child exits but the parent didn't call waitpid(2) and left it as a zombie. This patch also add several sanity checks. They shouldn't make any noticeable impact to runtime performance. The new test case run-pass/wait-forked-but-failed-child.rs calls the ps command to check if the new code can really reap a zombie. When I intentionally create many zombies with my test program ./spawn-failure, The output of "ps -A -o pid,sid,command" should look like this: PID SID COMMAND 1 1 /sbin/init 2 0 [kthreadd] 3 0 [ksoftirqd/0] ... 12562 9237 ./spawn-failure 12563 9237 [spawn-failure] <defunct> 12564 9237 [spawn-failure] <defunct> ... 12592 9237 [spawn-failure] <defunct> 12593 9237 ps -A -o pid,sid,command 12884 12884 /bin/zsh 12922 12922 /bin/zsh ... Filtering the output with the "SID" (session ID) column is a quick way to tell if a process (zombie) was spawned by my own test program. Then the number of "defunct" lines is the number of zombie children. Signed-off-by: NODA, Kai <nodakai@gmail.com>
2014-11-21sys: reveal std::io representation to sys moduleAaron Turon-3/+3
This commit adds a `AsInner` trait to `sys_common` and provides implementations on many `std::io` types. This is a building block for exposing platform-specific APIs that hook into `std::io` types.
2014-11-17Switch to purely namespaced enumsSteven Fackler-0/+1
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to refer to the new locations: ``` pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = A; } ``` => ``` pub use self::Foo::{A, B}; pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = A; } ``` or ``` pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = Foo::A; } ``` [breaking-change]

2014-11-08Runtime removal: refactor processAaron Turon-0/+587
This patch continues the runtime removal by moving and refactoring the process implementation into the new `sys` module. Because this eliminates APIs in `libnative` and `librustrt`, it is a: [breaking-change] This functionality is likely to be available publicly, in some form, from `std` in the future.
